THE  PRESIDENT 


President  J.  Waiter  Malone 

From  the  day  that  he  first  came  to  Millikin 
as  President,  Dr.  Malone  has  worked  hard  to 
keep  the  affairs  of  the  University  running 
smoothly.  With  a  friendly  smile  for  all  members 
of  the  campus  community,  he  has  become  one 
of  the  best-loved  persons  on  the  campus.  He 
has  those  qualities  essential  to  a  college  presi- 
dent: warmth  of  personality,  friendliness,  un- 
derstanding, and  sympathy  for  all  who  come 
in  contact  with  him.

Dean  C  L  Miller 

As  a  leader  and  administrator,  Dean  Miller 
is  responsible  for  straightening  out  campus  and 
student  difficulties  and  for  keeping  the  Uni- 
versity well  organized.  Each  year  he  demon- 
strates skill  in  dealing  with  the  many  problems 
that  concern  both  students  and  professors.  He 
has  worked  unceasingly  to  keep  the  standards 
of  an  expanding  University  high  and  campus 
life  harmonious.  At  the  same  time,  he  has  re- 
mained a  true  friend  of  the  students. 


Dean  Frances  E.  Falvey 

Dean  Falvey,  as  Dean  of  Women,  spends 
much  time  and  thought  working  with  the  social 
chairman  of  each  organization  in  order  to  de- 
velop an  effective  calendar  of  events.  She 
also  lends  invaluable  assistance  and  advice 
to  the  resident  housemothers,  as  well  as  to 
Millikin  women.  Besides  serving  as  Dean  of 
Women,  she  is  Director  of  Student  Affairs  and 
an  instructor  in  mathematics.

R.  WAYNE  GILL 

There  is,  perhaps,  no  one  person  on  the 
Millikin  staff  who  has  a  harder  job  and  re- 
ceives less  credit  for  it  than  does  Mr.  Gill.  As 
Business  Manager  he  is  responsible  for 
handling  all  financial  affairs  connected  with 
operating  the  University.  He  also  directs  the 
maintenance  staff,  looks  after  farms  and  homes 
belonging  to  the  University,  and  takes  care 
of  investments.  He  is  indeed  an  indispensible 
person.

DEAN  JAMES  BLACK 

As  Dean  of  Chapel,  the  Rev.  James  Black 
seeks  to  develop  a  campus  environment  that 
will  produce  mature  Christian  citizens.  He 
plans  such  activities  as  the  mid-week  chapel 
program  and  our  Religious  Emphasis  Week. 
In  the  classroom  and  in  his  contacts  with 
students,  he  teaches  the  practical  application  of 
Christianity  to  daily  living.  In  a  year,  Rev. 
Black  has  become  a  vital  part  of  the  campus. 


WALTER  B.  GRAY 

One  of  the  most  vital  men  in  the  growth  of 
Millikin  is  Mr.  Gray,  for  through  his  efforts  as 
Admissions  Director  the  student  body  is  re- 
cruited and  processed.  Mr.  Gray  is  also  in 
charge  of  Public  Relations.  He  arranges  many 
of  the  trips  taken  by  music  students  and  super- 
vises the  preparation  of  literature  concerning 
the  athletic  teams  and  many  aspects  of  the 
University  program.  Without  his  services  the 
life  of  Millikin  would  be  short  indeed.

ADMINISTRATION 


BYRON  KERNS 

Byron  Kerns  is  probably  one  of  the  first 
persons  students  meet  when  they  enter  the 
university.  As  Registrar,  he  administers  the 
series  F  examinations  which  are  given  to  all 
freshmen.  During  registration  he  checks  the 
program  of  each  student  who  proceeds  through 
the  long  line,  approving  it  or  making  sug- 
gestions which  often  lead  to  a  more  satisfactory 
schedule.  In  addition  to  carrying  the  varied 
responsibilities  of  Registrar,  Mr.  Kerns  finds 
time  to  serve  as  a  professor  in  psychology.

DEAN  E.  W.  PLOENGES 

Dean  Ploenges  is  not  only  Veterans'  Coun- 
seler  and  adviser  to  returning  servicemen,  but 
a  friend  of  all  veterans  on  the  campus.  He  is 
responsible  for  issuing  veterans'  progress  re- 
ports to  their  draft  boards  and  helping  them 
plan  their  college  program.  He  is  also  in  charge 
of  arranging  housing  for  men  students.  In 
still  another  capacity,  that  of  professor  of

Taking  your  money,  checking  your  records, 
an  watching  your  health  are  just  a  few  of  the 
duties  of  the  staff  at  Millikin.  The  many  ser- 
vices rendered  bring  about  a  smoothly  oper- 
ating administrative  division.  Without  the  staff 
there  would  be  no  permanent  records  for  your 
convenience  in  job  getting,  no  handy  bank  for 
cashing  checks,  and  no  absentee  slips  to  use 
on  returning  to  class  after  illness.  To  the  staff 
goes  a  huge  vote  of  thanks!

1078  West  William  was  the  scene  of  busy 
preparation  early  in  the  fall  as  the  Alpha  Chis 
made  final  arrangements  for  their  annual  street 
dance  to  welcome  all  students  and  faculty 
members  back  to  the  campus.  Soon  after  this, 
Homecoming  activities  started.  The  huge  type- 
writer with  the  slogan,  "Alums,  You're  Our 
Type"  was  awarded  third  place  for  house 
decorations.  Marion  Proctor  represented  Alpha 
Chi  in  the  Homecoming  Queen's  court;  Mar-

the  actives  at  a  house  dance.  The  winter 
formal  "Die  Reise  durch  Rhineland"  (A 
Journey  through  Rhineland)   highlighted  the 


winter  season.  With  Delta  Sigma  Phi,  the 
chapter  presented  a  skit,  "Mother  Goose 
Land,"  for  the  Variety  Show.  Work  was  not 
over, 'however,  for  the  girls  practiced  and  sang 
in  the  Greek  Sing  under  the  theme,  "Symbols 
of  Alpha  Chi."

Through  both  work  and  play,  Tri  Deltas 
share  together  and  build  a  close  bond  of 
fraternity  friendship  which  endures  throughout 
the  years. 

With  the  opening  of  school,  111  Park  Place 
became  the  scene  of  many  busy  girls  making 
preparation  for  rushing  activities,  Homecom- 
ing, house  dances,  and  formals.  Tri-Delt  tied 
for  second  place  in  both  the  house  decoration 
and  the  float  in  the  1954  Homecoming.  Sharon 
McFadden  and  Jayne  Hagberg  were  again 
leading  the  cheers  for  the  Big  Blue.  Christmas 
rolled  around  and  it  was  again  time  for  the 
annual  Pine  Tea  given  for  the  faculty,  and 
also  time  for  the  caroling  party.  In  January 
the  girls  made  plans  for  their  winter  formal 
"Shadows  in  Blue."  Soon  after  the  beginning 
of  second  semester  they  worked  on  the  Variety 
Show  and  the  University  Sing.  In  April,  they

_         t  Jfe 


From  September  to  June,  the  Pi  Phi's  joined 
in  a  bond  of  friendship  to  work  loyally  for  the 
activities  of  our  chapter  and  for  the  Millikm 
campus. 

Fall  rush  was  followed  by  house  dances, 
teas,  exchanges,  informal  parties,  and  Home- 
coming. Autumn  blended  into  winter  and  we 
began  to  prepare  for  the  holidays.  The  Christ- 
mas party  for  the  faculty  children  was  the  first 
of  its  kind  and  we  hope  it  will  become  one  of 
our  cherished  traditions. 

Memorable  and  uniquely  decorated  dances 
of  first  semester  included  a  "Night  in  China- 
town," "Moulin  Rouge,"  and  the  annual  winter 
formal,  "Wonderland  of  Winter." 


Pi  Beta  Phi  was  well  represented  in  campus 
activities.  Carlene  Stegenga  and  Janet  Mc- 
Laughlin were  elected  to  "Who's  Who"  and 
to  Pi  Mu  Theta,  and  Martha  Krohn  was  chosen 
for  the  latter.  Barbara  Smith  was  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  U.Y.F.  and  Assistant  Editor  of  the 
Decaturian,  with  Sarah  Shepley,  Sally  Wise- 
heart,  and  Elaine  Brush  also  on  the  Dec  Staff. 
Betty  McHatton  was  co-chairman  of  Religious 
Emphasis  Week  and  Nancy  Ash  was  Class 
Editor  of  the  Millidek.  Sally  Wiseheart  and 
Marlene  Kolb  were  cheerleaders. 

During  the  second  semester,  we  turned  our 
energies  to  the  Variety  Show,  the  University 
Sing,  Mother's  Day  Weekend,  and  the  Spring 
Formal.

As  the  members  of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  worked 
together,  they  enjoyed  a  successful  year  on 
the  Millikin  campus.  Rush  week  kept  the  girls 
busy  in  the  fall.  Homecoming  came  next,  and 
Verne  Borse  was  chosen  gueen.  The  Zetas  held 
house  dances,  an  open  house,  and  went 
Christmas  caroling  with  the  Sig  Phi's. 

Back  in  January,  the  girls  worked  on  their 
winter  formal,  "Symphony  in  Snow."  The 
province  president  visited  the  chapter,  and 
Carolynn  Johnson  and  Pat  Tillet  attended  the 
Province  Workshop  in  March  at  Northwestern. 


The  scholarship  dinner  of  steak  and  beans  was 
held  in  March.  With  the  Sig  Phi's,  the  Zetas 
presented  their  interpretation  of  "The  Night 
Before  Christmas"  for  the  Variety  Show.  The 
year  concluded  with  the  Mother's  weekend  in 
May. 

Zetas  were  prominent  in  campus  activities. 
Judy  Gilman  and  Mary  Delaney  were  elected 
to  Phi  Kappa  Phi,  and  Judy  Gilman,  Mary 
Delaney,  and  Verne  Borse  were  named  to 
"Who's  Who."  Gini  Huesmann,  Mary  Delaney, 
and  Judy  Gilman  were  members  of  Pi  Mu 
Theta.  Gini  Huesmann  also  served  as  Senior 
Class  secretary.  Verne  Borse  was  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  Alpha  Epsilon  Rho,  President  of  M.R.A. 
and  of  Newman  Club.  Judy  Gilman  was  Presi- 
dent of  Future  Teachers  of  America,  and  Sally 
Durbin  was  President  of  W.A.A.,  and  Vice- 
President  of  Student  Council.  Carolynn  Johnson

present  the  chapter  has  92  members,  including 
both  actives  and  pledges. 

The  Delta  Sig's  have  won  the  men's  intra- 
mural trophy  for  the  past  eighteen  years.  In 
competition  during  the  current  year,  they  hold 
the  Homecoming  float  trophy.  In  scholarship 
the  chapter  climbed  from  third  place  last  year 
to  second  place.

was  president  of  University  Youth  Fellowship; 
Jim  Millgan  edited  the  Decaturian;  and  Harold 
Frost  was  elected  president  of  Phi  Chi  Alpha. 

An  innovation  this  year  was  the  television 
parties  added  to  the  social  calendar  on  Sunday 
nights.  In  the  spring  the  Delta  Sig's  held  their 
"Dream  Girl  Formal"  on  April  15;  this  year's 
dream  girl  was  Jayne  Hagberg.  On  April  23 
the  chapter  held  a  Family  Day  for  parents  of

The  opening  of  the  1954-55  school  year 
showed  Sigma  Phi  Alpha  busy  with  rush,  the 
beginning  of  classes,  Homecoming,  and  many 
dances.  The  first  semester  was  climaxed  by 
their  winter  formal,  "Sleigh  Ride,"  held  at  the 
Tunnel  Room  of  the  St.  Nicholas  Hotel.  SPA 
once  again  led  the  fraternities  in  scholarship, 
and  then  went  on  to  the  activities  of  the  second 
semester.  The  Variety  Show,  the  University 
Sing,  and  dances  made  the  second  year  as  an 
organized  social  fraternity  a  very  fruitful  one.

nity life,  but  they  also  took  an  active  part  in 
many  campus  activities.  Gene  Baker  was

UNIVERSITY  CHORUS  AND  A  CAPPELLA  CHOIR 

University  Chorus  and  A  Cappella  Choir  are  two  of  the  most  active  musical 
groups  on  the  Millikin  University  campus.  Any  student  enrolled  at  Millikm 
is  eligible  for  Chorus  for  academic  credit.  Chorus  rehearses  Mondays  and 
Wednesdays  under  the  able  direction  of  Mr.  Wesley  Snyder.  This  group 
often  provides  inspirational  music  for  our  chapel  programs.  A  Cappella  is  a 
group  of  approximately  35  voices  selected  by  try-outs  in  the  fall.  Mr.  Wesley 
Snyder  also  directs  this  vocal  group.  Although  the  choir  practices  only  twice 
a  week  it  renders  excellent  music. 

The  University  Chorus  and  A  Cappella  Choir  combine  their  talents  to 
present  Handel's  "Messiah"  each  year  at  Christmas  time.  In  the  spring  A 
Cappella  goes  on  tour  and  also  sings  at  local  churches.  They  also  provide 
music  for  chapel  upon  occasion.

BAND 


Band  and  Orchestra  have  contributed 
much  to  Millikin  this  past  year.  Millikin 
Civic  Orchestra  presented  a  winter  and 
spring  concert.  From  its  ranks  was  drawn 
the  theatre  orchestra  which  played  for  the 
opera.  As  the  name  implies,  townspeople 
as  well  as  Millikin  students  are  members 
of  the  orchestra. 

The  Millikin  Band  played  at  home  foot- 
ball and  basketball  games,  and  occasion- 
ally toured  to  out-of-town  games.  In 
addition  to  these  activities,  the  Band 
presented  a  winter  concert.

*'  MAN 


Frank  Chizevsky  has  been  chosen  1955  "M" 
Man  by  the  Millidek  Staff. 

Just  to  mention  a  few  of  Frankie's  accomplish- 
ments, he  was  chosen  as  all  CCI  fullback.  Little 
Ail-American,  and  all  NAIA.  Besides  setting  sev- 
eral records  offensively.  Frank  was  one  of  the 
toughest  defensive  line-backers  in  the  confer- 
ence. 

He  displayed  his  versatility  last  spring  by 
taking  conference  honors  in  the  shot-put  and  he 
is  out  for  the  same  medal  this  spring. 

Frank  has  been  an  active  member  of  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon,  President  of  his  Senior  Class,  Sec- 
retary of  his  Sophomore  Class,  and  Officer  of  the 
"M"  Club. 


FOOTBALL 


Coach  Jack  Allen,  in  his 
second  year  as  head  coach, 
led  the  Big  Blue  to  their  most 
successful  season  since  1952. 
After  getting  off  to  a  slow 
start  by  suffering  three  suc- 
cessive defeats,  the  Blue 
came  on  to  win  their  last 
five  straight  to  compile  a 
fine  overall  record  of  5-3 
including  a  5-1  CCI  record, 
good  for  a  tie  for  the  cham- 
pionship. 

The  Blue  opened  their  season  under  the  lights  on 
the  Decatur  High  Field  going  down  to  defeat  27-7,  to 
the  Cardinal's  of  Ball  State.  The  Blue  received  a  big 
setback  in  the  opening  quarter  when  senior  half  back 
and  Co-captain  Bill  Savage  suffered  a  broken  collar- 
bone, which  was  to  keep  him  out  of  the  lineup  for  the 
remainder  of  the  season.

The  second  game  of  the  new  season  saw  the 
Blue  tackling  an  even  more  formidable  foe  in  the 
Vikings  of  Missouri  Valley.  The  Allen-men  were 
overpowered  by  the  perennially  powerful  Mis- 
souri men,  33-7. 

The  Blue  journeyed  to  Wheaton  to  open  their 
CCI  play  against  the  team  picked  in  pre-season 
ratings  as  the  team  to  beat  for  conference  title. 
The  Wheaton  Crusaders  lived  up  to  their  rating 
as  they  ran  to  a  27-6  victory  in  a  constant  down- 
pour. 

With  the  first  three  games  behind  them,  the 
Blue  were  not  to  be  discouraged  as  they  returned 
home  to  meet  the  Vikings  of  Augustana  in  the 
second  annual  Dad's  Day  game.  The  31-6  victory 
gave  an  indication  of  things  to  come  with  senior 
Co-captain  Frank  Chizevsky  running  hard  up  the 
middle,  foe  Lambert  stepping  in  for  injured  Bill 
Savage  in  fine  fashion,  and  Larry  Kane  showing 
great  passing  attack  in  connecting  with  halfback 
Ted  Smith  and  end  Pete  Innis.

The  Titans  of  Illinois  Wesleyan  were  to  pro- 
vide the  opposition  at  Bloomington  for  the  deter- 
mined gridders  of  Millikin  the  following  week. 
The  Blue  came  out  on  top  with  a  13-7  win. 

The  next  week  was  Homecoming  and  a  must 
for  the  Blue.  The  Foresters  of  Lake  Forest  were 
the  opposition  for  the  Big  Blue,  who  needed  a 
victory  if  they  were  to  send  a  large  homecoming 
crowd  away  happy  and  were  to  make  a  bid  for 
the  CCI  Championship.  The  Millikin  men  ran 
and  passed  to  a  fine  27-13  victory. 

Following  the  homecoming  game,  the  Blue 
met  the  winless  Bluejays  of  Elmhurst.  The  of- 
fensive-minded men  for  Millikin  completely  dom- 
inated play  in  an  easy  45-7  win. 

The  final  game  of  the  season  was  another 
must  for  the  Blue  if  they  were  to  gain  a  share  of 
the  CCI  Championship.  The  Big  Blue  responded 
in  excellent  fashion  with  a  51-12  victory.  Co- 
captain  Frank  Chizevsky  ended  a  brilliant  four 
year  grid  career  for  the  Blue,  setting  three  new 
conference  rushing  records  sparked  by  his  95 
yard  touchdown  run  from  scrimmage. 


The  Blue  placed  Frank  Chizevsky,  fullback, 
Pete  Innis,  end,  and  Lyle  Slater,  tackle,  on  the 
all  CCI  first  team.  Halfback  Ted  Smith  and  tackle 
Gerry  Babel  received  berths  on  the  second  squad. 
Chizevsky  and  Innis  gained  further  honor;;  in 
being  named  to  the  Little  Ail-American  Squad. 
Dick  Kramer  won  the  Lou  Epperson  Memorial 
Award  for  his  fine  play  at  the  guard  position. 

All  of  the  men  played  hard,  showing  always 
a  determination  to  win.  They  deserve  credit  for 
a  fine  season.

BASKETBALL 


The  1954-55  edition  of  the  Millikin  Basket- 
ball team  found  the  Big  Blue  hardwood  five 
winning  its  fifth  CCI  crown  in  the  last  seven 
seasons.  And  in  doing  so,  Ralph  Allan's 
charges  provided  the  Millikin  fans  with  many 
thrilling  action-packed  evenings  of  basketball. 

The  team,  led  by  co-captains  Mel  Sheets 
and  Jack  Dettro,  faced  an  uphill  battle  almost 
from  the  start  of  the  season.  After  winning  the 


year's  first  two  contests  against  Normal  and 
Southern,  the  Blue  dropped  conference  contests 
against  Lake  Forest  and  North  Central.  From 
this  point  on  there  could  be  and  were  no 
further  losses  to  conference  foes.  The  victory 
surge  was  sparked  by  a  team  effort,  indicated 
by  the  fact  that  all  five  regulars  ended  the 
season  with  nearly  the  same  point  average.

On  February  12  the  Big  Blue  and  many 
fans  made  a  journey  to  Chicago  to  play 
the  Wheaton  Crusaders  in  the  Chicago 
Stadium.  The  convincing  72-49  win  there 
was  just  what  the  team  needed  to  carry 
them  to  the  conference  championship.  The 
highlight  of  the  season  came  a  few  weeks 
later  at  Wesleyan  where  the  Blue  did  the 
impossible  in  beating  the  Titans  65-61  on 
the  latters'  home  court.  In  winning  the 
CO  Millikin  set  a  new  conference  scoring 
record  for  total  points  in  one  season  and 
in  points  per  game. 

Action  outside  the  CCI  found  the  Blue 
winning  over  such  teams  as  Macalaster, 
Eastern,  and  Shurtleff  twice.  On  the  other 
side  of  the  column,  however,  were  losses 
to  Beloit  and  to  the  third  place  winners 
in  the  NAIA  tourney,  Western. 


For  the  fifth  straight  year  the  Blue  were 
invited  to  the  District  20,  NAIA  playoffs 
in  Champaign.  However,  Millikin  could 
not  beat  Wesleyan  three  times  in  one 
season,  and  lost  to  the  Bloomington  five 
in  the  first  round. 

Members  of  the  team  were  Roger 
Lotchin,  Don  Morris,  Terry  Smith,  Larry 
Warren,  Ron  Reed,  and  captain  elect  for 
next  season  Don  Petty. 


Individual  honors  went  to  Don  Morris, 
who  ranked  third  in  the  nation  with  a 
.637  shooting  percentage  on  field  goals, 
and  to  Don  Petty,  who  led  the  squad  in 
free  throwing.

Coach  Jack  Allen  opens  his  second 
year  at  the  helm  of  the  Big  Blue  dia- 
mond squad,  confident  that  he  has  a 
title  contender.  Upholding  the  confident 
outlook  are  six  returning  lettermen  to 
man  the  key  positions. 

Righthander  Dennis  Harrell  and 
lefty  Clete  Hinton  return  to  head  the 
mound  staff  with  non-letterman  Dave 
Richardson  and  Larry  Warren  to 
strengthen  the  staff.  Lefties  Jim  Brown 
and  Jim  Stillman  are  available  for 
duty  also. 


Letterman  Frank  Van  Doren  re- 
turns from  service  to  take  charge  be- 
hind the  bat,  with  Dean  Doss  ready 
to  relieve  him.  The  infield  is  manned 
with  letterman  Tom  Lambert  at  first 
base  and  1954  conference  batting 
champion  Don  Petty  at  second.  New- 
comers Jack  Hoffman  at  shortstop  and

Coach  Ralph  Allan's  cindermen 
were  again  this  year  expected  to 
represent  Millikin  in  fine  style.  With 
Captain  Dick  Quisenberry  leading 
the  squad,  the  Big  Blue  were 
anxiously  hoping  to  capture  the 
Conference  Championship  once 
again.

Dick  Quisenberry,  Captain 


Captain  Quisenberry,  one  of  the  nation's 
top  220  men,  was  working  hard  to  better  his 
records  in  the  220  and  440.  Two  men  anticipat- 
ing several  points  for  Millikin  in  the  hurdles, 
jumps,  pole  vault,  and  javelin  were  Paul  Jones 
and  Ted  Smith.  Larry  Craig,  Doug  Warford, 
Dick  Kramer,  and  Bill  Langdon,  along  with 
Quisenberry,  provided  the  manpower  in  the 


dashes.  Letterman  Dick  McBride,  with  strong 
help  from  Freshmen  Dave  Parsons  and  Duncan 
Reid,  constituted  the  field  in  distance  running. 
Another  veteran  counted  upon  to  pick  up 
necessary  points  in  the  javelin,  broad  jump, 
and  high  jump  was  Harold  Frost.  The  strength 
in  the  weight  events  was  supplied  by  Senior 
Frank  Chizevsky,  Lyle  Slater,  and  Dick  Kramer.

also  two  time  winners  of  the  Big  "M",  and  Pat  Kaiser

Activities 


Long  hours  were  spent  preparing  for 
Homecoming.  Freshman  -  sophomore 
games  initiated  activities  of  the  weekend 
with  the  freshmen  traditionally  losing. 
That  evening  students  welcomed  alums 
to  the  campus  with  a  talent  show,  "Two 
Fingers  of  Scotch,"  decorated  houses,  and 
the  pep  rally  on  the  athletic  field.  Satur- 
day brought  a  full  day  beginning  with 
the  parade  in  the  morning.  This  year 
everybody  could  place.  Millikm  spirit  was 
high  as  the  Big  Blue  downed  Lake  Forest 
in  the  football  game.  Homecoming  was 
climaxed  by  the  dance  in  the  Armory 
with  Charlie  Spivak's  band.  Thanks  to 
the  co-chairmen  for  a  perfect  weekend!

Millikin' s  Queen 
and 
Her  Court 


tCA 


Each  sorority  on  campus  and  the  Mil- 
likin  Independent  Association  selects  a 
candidate  to  represent  them  as  Home- 
coming queen.  A  committee  composed 
of  students,  faculty,  and  townspeople 
chose  Verne  Borse  as  the  1954  Millikin 
Homecoming  Queen.  She  reigned  over 
the  activities  of  the  weekend.  The  coro- 
nation took  place  during  half-time  of  the 
football  game.  The  queen  was  crowned 
by  the  1953  queen,  Betty  Jane  Reed.  The 
queen  and  her  court  were  honored  at  the 
Homecoming  dance  that  evening. 

Verne  came  to  Millikin  from  Oak  Park, 
Illinois,  and  was  active  in  various  campus 
activities.  She  was  president  of  Millikin 
Religious  Association  and  Newman  Club; 
vice-president  of  Alpha  Epsilon  Rho; 
member  of  the  Home  Ec  Club  and  Town 
and  Gown.  She  was  also  elected  to

■Ill

U  vnu  answer  this  question?  It 
Lt  If  a  da*  citizenship  project- 

HERE'S   THE  W« 
EXECUTIVE  AHSWEREO  IT. 

••To  describe  a  good  citizen  in  a  few 
words  is  mosc  difficult-nun* Uk £ 
ine  to  describe  onr  great  country  in  a  lew 
"Zds.  However,  some  qualifications  of 
a  good  atizen  certainly  wonld  be. 
.  A  fundamental  belief  in  God. 
•  A  deep  sense  of  honesty  and  integrity. 

.  Moral  character  above  «pro«h-the 
result  of  personal  convictions  rather  than 

fear  of  public  opinion. 

.  An  interest  in  ones  community  com 

pled  with  a  willingness  to  work  long 

ind  hard  for  its  betterment. 

.  A  true  sense  of  value,  recognizing  that 


,here  is  no  such  thing  as  something  for 
thing  Everything  we  achieve,  every- 

thing  we  get,  must  be  earned. 

.  A  love  of  the  freedoms  guaranteed  by 

•  A  desire  to  searcn

of  others. 

.  A  sense  of  duty  when  it  comes  to  ex-

ship  in  a  few  words    I  hope 
thoughts  will  be  helpful.
